Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH
Frankly, I'm glad that not all reviews are like spring and butterflies. Give us the truth, even if it hurts. 
Just got my Scoutmaster, need setup suggestions...
Stringreen and Audphile1,Thanks very very much!Joey

Someone's please define the following:OverhangAzimuthZenithVTADownforceSRAVTFBtw, thanks for the input Audphile1. Also, what did you mean by riding "slightly tail down"?

I was able to "fix" the counterweight on the back of the JMW9 tonearm and get it to be a bit more balanced. However, I am now away from my TT and I just read the prior posts talking about the Azimuth. I get what the Azimuth is now, but I was not a...

Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?
Please... enough blatant advertising. 
sonus faber..Grand Piano Domus vs Cremona Auditor
I listened to the Cremona Auditor and the Concerto Domus... in which the Cremona was handily better. I have not yet listened to the Grand Piano Domus though.But I would be surprised if you found the GP better than the Cremona Auditor if you were a...

Where to start with vinyl
SGunther,I did the same thing.. I just got into vinyl/analog. I also have a similar system as you do (ML Summits). I purchased a VPI Scoutmaster with Dynavector 20XH cart to go with my Cary SLP-98Phono preamp. It's going to be a long process (coll... 
Speaker Preferences?
I can't believe we're correcting rhymes now. 
Speaker Preferences?
I don't think cone head rhymes with "rule".... :). 
Speaker Preferences?
Understood J.But I don't think that MLs are alone in the fact that you have to take the time to position them well. Sonus Faber needs them, Quads need them, Magnepans need them, etc.The last time I was at a dealer for a Sonus Faber demo, he took a...
